Thanks for posting. Not really what this thread is about, but here's what I came up with. Sounds like a nicely equipped and great color combo 72 Q code. VIN=Q Code 1972 63R=2 door fastback Mach 1 10B=February 10th 576=rotation number 5A=Light Pewter Metallic AC=Air...

Anyone have an example of what a top frame rail patch might look like?

I see now what you’re saying. I didn’t realize these slanted down unlike a 70 or before. I’m used to 69/70 cougars. They’re flat and right under the fender. If there’s a bow in the fender lip on those it’s possible to see but very difficult usually requiring fender removal to view.

True. The point is that would eliminate the benefit of being and convenience of being able to see it without removing the fender. It would necessitate fender removal.

….and if there’s undercoating?

What are some ways to tell if a 1971-3 is legitimate and as originally built or a re-body? What is the easiest and least invasive way to view the inner fender/shock tower VINs? Do you have to take the fender completely off or just loosen the top bolts?

As always great info. I appreciate it.

Looking at a 71 that has the 1A standard black interior. It currently has the deluxe two spoke steering wheel, but there is no mention of it on the Marti Report. Could it have come with it and it not be listed on the report or is it always listed ad if so how would it be listed?

Could possibly be the next big thing but I don’t really care about the next big thing. I have little to no interest in a 72 R code. A well optioned and well restored 71 J code or Boss for fair market value is what I’m after. Simple as that.

Yes a few times and I've been there.

No and not worth it. Not sure why people think I may never find one that meets my requirements. I'm willing to pay top dollar for an excellent #2+ example. I'm not looking for a $100K car for $50K. I'm also not looking for a $50K car for $100K. If you have a $100K trailered concours...

I didn't pass on anything. However, and looking at it from another perspective, that of a buyer, not much you can do when a seller of what you're after values something well beyond what it's fair market value is. I'm aware of your automatic. No idea which 4-speed you're referring to. I...

Still searching and hoping to find something that isn't halfway across this country or in another one.

Anyone know?

Aware there's an A/C and Non-A/C version of the P/S coolers, but did all the 429 equipped 71s with power steering come with a cooler or did some not? Info on the following sight uses the word some and not all can someone please confirm? "Shown is the unique CJ/SCJ cooler (part#D1AA-3D746-BA)...
